This guide is a very good guide however I suggest people should do tournaments even at the start game but just play as [Lance Shield - Horse - Enhanced Weapon] with the arena being Native. Helps you start off in your road to being a king (and you don't have to grind as much haha)
I've played native before but now i can't find out how to give a fief to a lord. I've tried talking to my minister and to the lord but no luck so far. Any help is much appreciated!
My best battle was when I was attacking the Swadians and they ran to Suno after we took their cities. So me and the Rhodoks ran in and siege Suno, however the other lords and troops got killed instantly. It turned out to be just me and I had to take everyone on by myself. I survived the battle and earned Suno for Rhodoks and myself.
